Preview Stealing the Dragon
Soon after an ancient talisman is smuggled out of Hong Kong, a container ship filled with Chinese refugees runs aground on Alcatraz, the crew murdered.
The Chinese Triads suspect one of their own, a female assassin named Sally known to have complex relationships with a San Francisco detective named Cape Weathers. But when Sally goes missing, Cape becomes the focus of the Triad's attention, and soon the FBI have him on their radar. Cape quickly realizes he's screwed if he doesn't find out what really happened on board the ship.
From BooklistWhen the crew of a ship carrying hundreds of Chinese refugees is murdered, PI Cape Weathers, a former cop, immediately suspects it's the work of a professional assassin. But Cape's investigation is hampered by the fact that his partner, Sally (who happens to be a trained assassin), is missing. Soon Cape is locked in a deadly battle with the ruthless Chinese organized crime organization, the Triads. It's an intriguing story, marred somewhat by overwriting. Still, there are flashes of flair and inspiration in this promising first novel. David Pitt
